[coLinux-users] Problem with windows service and ndis-bridge

[Lars G. <Lar...@re...>]

Hello everybody,

I use colinux 0.78 with the native windows network bridge, it runs fine if I start it from a console.
My problem is it to get up the windows service with network support. I can install, start and attach a console to the service.
But it is not possible for me, to start the bridged interface (eth2), ifup eth2 prints this:
-----------------------------
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth2.
-----------------------------

In the wiki, I've read something about service dependencies, but this sections seems to e outdated for 0.78 and also does not affect brigdeg network. However I have tried to add Bridge and some other to the service dependencies, without success.

Service Dependicies:
--------------------
CoLinuxDriver
Bridge
BridgeMP
NPF
tap0801co

Can someone tell me what is going wrong?

Thanks for your support
Lars

PS: Extract from the config file:
-----------------------------
# Slirp for internet connection (outgoing)
# Inside running coLinux configure eth0 with this static settings:
# ipaddress 10.0.2.15   broadcast  10.0.2.255   netmask 255.255.255.0
# gateway   10.0.2.2    nameserver 10.0.2.3
#eth0=slirp

# Tuntap as private network between guest and host on second linux device
#eth1=tuntap

# brigded networks
eth2=ndis-bridge,"tap0"
